Wow.
Glad he was ok.

It doesn't take much of an impact to do serious damage to our cars, or any car.

I recently had a very close call. Some of you may be wondering why I call my
accident a 'close call'. It could have been much MUCH worse, as there was a steep
hill of about 100 ft right next to the highway light pole I hit. I could have missed
the pole and travelled down that hill in the freezing temp. The car would be no
longer, and I'm not so sure I would have come out unscathed. It really bothers me
to think what could have happened! That tends to keep me in check on the roads.

Be safe... you only get one life. You can always have another car.

Yikes. I'd be scared to think about that too. Be careful though when you're out driving. Think twice before you decide to downshift and take some corners on the street.
